Each year Rex Cycles, of Sacramento, sponsors a social bike ride along the beautiful Jedediah Smith Memorial Trail on the American River Parkway.
The ride begins at William Pond Recreation Area. Riders first head toward Discovery Park, where volunteers host a rest stop with refreshments. Riders then go to Hazel Ave, where there is a second rest stop. Finally, everyone meets back at William Pond Recreation Area for a barbecue and beverages and live music.
Participants may ride as much or as little of the 60-mile route as they wish. All proceeds benefit the American River Parkway Foundation.
